Random Monitor

Thing type 412, Random Monitor, is a monitor that randomly selects and activates a monitor action upon its destruction, such as awarding ten rings or harming the player. This monitor is intended for use in Race mode and should not be placed in Match and Capture the Flag maps. In these cases, Strong Random Monitor and Weak Random Monitor flags should be used instead.

This monitor does not respawn randomly, and ignores the flags used for Strong Random Monitors and Weak Random Monitors.

When a Random Monitor is destroyed, it will choose one of the following monitors to act like (the console variables controlling their chances are also listed):

Monitor	Icon	Console variable
Super Ring Monitor		tv_superring
Super Sneakers		tv_supersneaker
Invincibility		tv_invincibility
Whirlwind Shield		tv_jumpshield
Elemental Shield		tv_watershield
Attraction Shield		tv_ringshield
Force Shield		tv_forceshield
Armageddon Shield		tv_bombshield
Extra Life Monitor		tv_1up
Eggman Monitor		tv_eggman
Teleporter Monitor		tv_teleporter
Recycler Monitor		tv_recycler

By default, all monitors on this list have a probability of 8.33% of being used by a Random Monitor. The respective console variables can be used to increase or decrease the chances of each monitor being used.
